If cuPhoton contributes to a publication, cite the version you used and
record the exact commit in the methods or software-availability section.
For a development checkout, include the full version reported by
cuphoton --version and the output of git rev-parse HEAD.
Use this citation template with the version and year you used:
NVIDIA Corporation. cuPhoton: GPU-accelerated astronomy and imaging reference workflows. Version [installed version], [year]. https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuPhoton
The repository also contains machine-readable citation metadata in
CITATION.cff. GitHub can export that record in common
bibliography formats. The record describes the project; add the version and
commit used to the exported citation.
The current citation metadata does not include an archived DOI. If the release you use publishes one, prefer its DOI while retaining the exact version or commit used.
If you use xImage reconstruction in a publication, also cite the ImageMM method paper:
Yashil Sukurdeep, Tamás Budavári, Andrew J. Connolly, and Fausto Navarro. “ImageMM: Joint Multi-frame Image Restoration and Super-resolution.” The Astronomical Journal, 170(4), article 233, 2025. doi:10.3847/1538-3881/adfb72
Cite the cuPhoton version and commit used for the implementation; the ImageMM citation credits the method. See the xImage component guide for supported behavior and validation limits.
